STRIPING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent Patented Aug. 4, 1908.

Application filed August 21, 1906. Serial IIo. 331,546.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. DUVAL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Way Cross, in th'ecounty' of Ware and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Stri ing Device, of which the following is a s eci cation.

This invention re ates to a device especially adapted for laying on stripes or lines of sizing preparatory to forming a letter or design upon a smooth surface of gold leaf.

The device is especially adapted for use of painters employed in lettering and decorating railroad coaches, carriages and large wi11 dows.

The invention consists of a reservoir, carrying a felt brush having a comparatively long and narrow edge, and means for holding the said edge parallel to or at a desired an le with a straight edge, thereby regulating t e .width of surface covered by the brush.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification:Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention showing the fountain brush only. Fig. 2 is a section'on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig; 4 is an inverted bottom view. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the guiding attachment. Fig. 6 is a section through the neck of the fountain taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 2. spective view of a cap and retaining means, a portion of the reservoir neck. being shown, and the parts being detached. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the brush.

In constructin my device I employ a reservoir, formed. with two telescoping sections A and B. The lower section Bhas its lower end portion gradually contracted in width by bending in one side, and the upper portion slides over or upon the lower portion of the upper section A. The section A opens downwardly into the section B and carries at its upper end a tubular neck 0 preferably oval in cross section and at its u per end and upon opposite sides, the neck is bent over to form beads C.

A cap D has depending end flaps D which fit over the beads C and are locked in position by a ring D which encircles the neck C and is drawn upwardly over the end flaps D, clamping them to the bottle neck.

A threaded rod E extends into the neck being su ported from the cap D and within the neck works a plate E through which the Fig. 7 is a per-' threaded rod E passes, and at its outer upper end the rod is provided with a knurled head E In the section B is arranged a brush F preferably formed of a piece of felt shaped to fit the interior of the section B and projectingslightly from its lower contracted end. A band G is fitted upon the section B and is provided with an extension along one side as shown at G. At the opposite end the band G is cut out and the cut out portions rolled over to form sleeves H.

i A plate J has similar sleeves J formed at one end which sleeves are adapted to interlock with the sleeves H and a pintle J 2 hinges the plate J and the band G together. A set screw J works through the extension G and bears upon the free end of the plate J. It will be obvious that by turning the set screw the angle formed between the band G and the plate J will be varied.

In use the reservoir is filled with a suitable,

liquid as for example, sizing, white lead or any other material being used, and by turning the head E the plate E may be moved upwardly or downwardly, thus either increasing or relieving pressure upon the felt brush F, and increasing or decreasing the flow of the liquid through said brush or pad.

When material as heavy as white lead is used, the brush may be constructed of a pad of more porous material than when employedfor use with a sizing for gold leaf.

In use the plate J is guided along the straight edge or through guiding instruments and the width of the line formed by the brush will depend upon the angle which the band Gr makes with the plate J, which angle can be regulated by the set screw J and when the band G and the plate J are exactly parallel with each other, a very light, thin line will be produced.

It will also be obvious that the attachment formed by means of the band G and the plate J can be employed in connection with the section B and brush F Without the section A, the brush being dipped into the liquid.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is y 1. A combination with a reservoir carrying a brush, of a band carried by said reservoir, a plate hinged to the band, and means for adjusting said plate at various angles of the brush.
